A Congressionaly non-censored post

Boy is it cold. I believe the high today is 33* Fahrenheit or 273.70556 Kelvin or 0.55556 Celsius for you European types. Either way, that's cold. And the only way I'll tolerate cold is if I can play ice hockey. They don't have that here. They don't even have a rink. The coldest city in Missouri and we don't even have an ice rink... This is just wrong. Can one of you Canadian types please ship me an ice rink? I'd love to have one. Please and thank you.

But in the mean time, I think I may have found a possible summer job working at a Christian youth camp in TX. Not bad eh? The only problem is that I"d like to goo back to Kinshasa sometime between now and August but this camp is all summer and I don't know if they'd let me back on if I left. So I'll have to do a bit more research into it and hope things work out. I thinkit would be awesome if I got a job there because then I'd be able to serve God AND make some summer money AND have fun. Anything wrong with that? Didn't think so.

Also, Rugby practice has begun again. We've got a lot of new guys coming out and it looks to be a good season. Problem is, practice is on Tuesday and Thursday after my high intensity interval training class for health... I'm in a bit of pain today. Everything from my knees down is either on fire or numb. The price I pay for some things makes me wonder why I do them... But then I remember "Akia-Kaha" Forever Strong. Gotta work hard to get anywhere. Bring it on!

And on a final note. Maybe some of you heard about my little brother Daniel already but if not here's what happened. He dropped a glass coke bottle on the floor at our home in Kinshasa and a piece of it sliced his leg quite deeply and he had to be rushed to the hospital through terrible traffic and was treated at a sketchy clinic. All is well and God provided perfectly for the needs that needed met. Thanks for your prayers guys!

A new end, a new beginning.

Wow! My weekend was amazing!! I thought it would be nice to kick this year off right and on Friday I went to a B.S.U men's retreat for 3 days. What a blast. Guns, meat, brothers, mice, bugs and Sasquatch (maybe?). But I think the highlight of it was the time I was able to spend with God and my brothers in Christ. It's an indescribable experience really. It was a great time for me to focus on God and know what he wants for me now and I'm sure the guys would agree. But now I'm back and I feel that I'm ready to face the world out there because God's with me and I'm nothing without him. I really can't explain this guys. It's incredible!

And on a side note: I just ate an entire medium pizza from Dominoes. I'm not sure why other than I was missing almost 12 hours of food and I was incredibly hungry. Now I'm full and incredibly thirsty. I need some water or something. No soda during season.... That is all. Good night and enjoy MLK day!!!!
